DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy a RX card solely for your x1000.

It won't work, AT ALL, until there is a CFE update that supports those kind of cards


Of course it works, just not in CFE.
I've been using one for about 2 years now. No picture until WB loads, that's all.
And of course you ...

I have a RadeonRX in my X1000, which is (also) (sadly and strangly) limited to 256MB VRAM.
I use UHD (4k) reslution in 32 bits. All fine, except that I often run out of VRAM.

When VRAM runs out, Picasso96 is supposed to defrag and swap out some bitmaps to RAM, says Hans de Ruiter, developer of the ...

It's amazing I managed to forgot I asked this question and didn't see it again in 10 years!!

I see the APenColor tag has been there since v51, which is what, OS4.0.0 public/full release?
It works beautifully. The MOS PenMode on the other hand, not so much. It doesn't make any sense. Why should it ...

Hi

I have a small bugfix/feature request for AmiPDF. 10 min implementation :-)

When resizing the window it redraws the PDF everytime, as expected. However, some PDFs are extremely slow to redraw (several seconds on X1000) which means that I have already resized the window and released the mouse ...

Unfortunately, other code is not always testing against NULL, a substantial portion of code does nutty pointer
math and that stuff usually breaks with signed variables when addresses are above 2 gig.
So, it's always a smart idea to use unsigned when dealing with addresses.

But does these pieces ...

Is it really documented that all Internet programs need to respond to Ctrl-C?

And yes, I also think it is unnecessary for RoadShow to need to shut down cleanly. Sure it is nice to try, but freezing the machine when it fails is annoying.

It can't be implemented simply by "fixing" and recompiling the kernel. It needs just about every system component to be modified and recompiled. The result is not likely to give a great improvement, since the 32-bit address space means that a program can't, EVER, address more than 4 GB of address ...

When performing a softreset it seems there are some reset handlers that are run. It seems like RoadShow sends Ctrl-C to all programs that have bsdsocket.library open, then wait forever until the opencount has reached zero. Not all Amiga programs respond to Ctrl-C (AmIRC for example), so a softreset ...

I get exactly the same experience as you, K-L. High CPU causes the whole system to become uselessly slow and stuttering. The worst is when transcoding a video or encoding an MP3 with Lame. Before OS4 FE it would be almost unnoticeable at pri 0 (half CPU left for other things). But with OS4 FE ...

I think Intuition semaphores should have a timeout to allow other applications to continue to run after a short while (1-2-10 seconds?) in case an app enters an intuition function and crashes (which is very common).

That would also allow the Grim Reaper to show up (which needs lots of intuition ...
